Abstract

We present compelling theoretical results showing that fused azulene molecules are strong candidates for exhibiting room temperature multiferroic behavior, i.e., having both, ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties. If this is experimentally proved, these systems will be the first organic multiferroic materials with important potential applications.
